Chromatography

Course ID: M3201613

Credits: 2

Objective: This course aims to teach students with the principles, applications, and operations of various chromatographic techniques, including gas, liquid, and supercritical fluid chromatography, as well as capillary electrophoresis. It provides an opportunity for graduate school students who have not previously studied instrumental analysis to understand the applications and limitations of various chromatographic techniques, thereby facilitating their research

Course Prerequisites: It is preferable for students to have prior knowledge of Analytical Chemistry, but it is not mandatory.

Outline:

1. Theory of Chromatographic Separation 

2. Gas Chromatography 

3. High Performance Liquid Chromatography 

4. Supercritical Fluid Chromatography 

5. Capillary Electrophoresis

Teaching Method: Classroom lectures and seminars will be conducted.
